Today, on a walk with my dog, my dog found a small shivering bird under my parent’s car, hiding behind one of the tires. I knew that he was wild and I didn’t want to bring him in, but according to my grandma, she saw a little bird walking around our porch at 7 am (he looked fine, she thought he was just being silly). But at 5 pm I found him outside in some pretty cold winds. I put him in a big recycling box and laid down some paper towels and fed him some millet seed and gave him a bowl of water. He seems to be a lot stronger now, and he is currently taking a nap. The vet is currently closed, and because of coronavirus there isn’t a lot they can do. What are some options to do with the bird? Obviously I’m hoping that he is able to go fly off into the wild, but there is something wrong with his wing, which is droopy and missing some feathers. I think it may be broken, but I can’t feel and breaks in the bone. Does anyone know anything I can do for him for the time being? He seems to be a male house finch, native to the area. Very small in size and mostly brown, with a bright red head and chest. I don’t have any experience with birds and I’m really struggling on what to do about his droopy and maybe broken wing.
